xD sorry i wasn't referring to a specific book. Just a quote I can't remember where from. If it's not a published title already though it should be!
I appreciate the idea for larger holders like him without younger generations to pass it off too, though myself I plan on passing it all to my children.
Saylor is a mixed bag. My opinion of him has changed negatively the more I observe his actions. I've always believed bitcoin's merging with the state is a natural step on the path to separation of money and state; leeches can't help but try to pull the life out of anything they get their fangs on after all. For all he's done for bitcoin adoption, his "end conclusion" seems to be that short-term outcome rather than the long-term solution needed...Whether it's unintentional, rooted in the here and now, or straight up nefariousness I can't bother to speculate too much on.
"Slay all of your heroes" was one of the best things I read early on into my journey with bitcoin.
You're well on the way there k00b. k00b may be gone one day but SN will live on! And if SN proves only to be a mere prototype, you're building the skills needed to create something of the sort
Definitely a hard thing to do. Just the mere act of writing it I would imagine makes death feel closer, forces you to comes to terms with the reality of it all. Much easier on the mind to put it off..
Recently experienced this problem. I tried to buy a $3 item but that didn't meet the small business's $5 minimum threshold for card transactions. Didn't have any cash on me to pay for it. "If only Lightning!!", I yelled internally. Sometimes I feel emboldened to speak up about that sort of thing but it was also 5 minutes before closing time for them lol
It's like relationships man, exes can be a valuable fine tuning process..
Very cool to see you working on this stuff, going to learn more about Lightning.Pub!
yes..I like what @justin_shocknet had mentioned though, feels like payments are still a bit premature in terms of demand, at least in the US. Gets me thinking about the order of operations for these businesses -- what are the most efficient steps to bitcoin adoption? It all starts with adoption on the balance sheet, but where to go from there that makes the most sense?
Interesting. I agree that jumping straight to MoE is a premature focus...And yes, seeing them fumble the Trump bitcoin payment at Pubkey was not a great look xD
Great points on serving platforms dealing in hostile internet environment. Tooling in general may still suck but have you seen any examples of steps in the right direction?
